Hi, I am new to cognos and wanna learn TM1.
I tried to download some guides from IBM website. But i am not able to understand where to start.
I have

Reference Guide
Developer guide
Operations guide

It will be very much helpful for me if you can tell me the sequence to read these guides. Also please tell me if i miss any guide this this list.

Do you actually have a copy of the software though? It's virtually impossible to learn TM1 "in theory" without doing hands on work with it.
The first thing that you should read is the Installation guide. I'd recommend reading that cover to cover before installing. Similarly I'd suggest the TM1 System Architecture chapter of the Operations guide, and the Getting Started chapter of the user guide. After that, install the software and make sure that you install at least one of the sample databases supplied. With those and what you'd have already read by that point, you can start working through some of the chapters like Browsing Data in the User Guide to get a handle on the end user experience. Beyond that, it's time to start looking at creating your own objects in TM1 but the first steps will take you a while anyway.
